Quick Decode: House of Cosby's
1.
I happened upon this video today

and the history it explains was a quick unlock for Rick and Morty being a lawsuit from Bill Cosby over a parody as one of the first trending videos in the earliest days of YouTube.
2.
Being shut down on House of Cosby's triggered the creator to respond with a dirty parody of Back to the Future with "Doc and Mharti" hoping for a lawsuit.

The lawsuit never came and it was later retooled into Rick and Morty.

At a glance that may not seem an answer but... Image

If you've read my decodes of Back to the Future then you know it's star Microphone FOX was part of a sequence of comms surrounding the rise of FOX as the return of the 4th major TV network.

“What the hell happened with Nina Totenberg?” Here’s my theory and why it matters. (Article at the end.) 1/10
Totenberg is on the left and probably talks to the left. The left is convinced in their bones that at least Alito is going to retire. They also think Thomas is leaving. Ds saw him go to the Capitol and thought, “He’s there to tell them that he’s stepping down.” 2/10
They think this because they believe Rs are utterly ruthless and without pity. Trump is the president. There are 53 Rs in the Senate. The Court is a faithful adjunct of MAGA. It would be insane for them not to go, really, and they’re not insane. They must be retiring. 3/10

Manipulation is the only way some people know how to get their needs met.

It's not personal, it's a lack of capacity.

How To Deal with Manipulation:
Manipulation is an attempt to control reality.

When someone is being manipulative they're trying to control other people's behavior, emotions, or perception.
Ways people manipulate:
- Gaslighting: makes you question your own memory and feelings, denies your reality
- Guilt-Tripping: makes you feel responsible for their emotional state
- Love bombing: showering with affection or attention to gain control

In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.

He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.

Two years later, it was over. 🧵 Image
Robert Owen paid around $150,000 for the town of Harmonie, Indiana. He got 20,000 acres, more than 160 buildings, working mills, and farms already producing food.

He renamed it New Harmony. Close to a thousand people arrived in the first year. Image
Owen already ran successful textile mills in New Lanark, Scotland, where he was famous for treating workers well and running a profitable business at the same time.

He believed that if you removed private property and paid everyone equally, cooperation would naturally replace competition.Image

Compared to humans, it's much more difficult to establish what counts as the same 'self' for an LLM. I asked a few models how self-ish they consider various other instances, the highest scores were for descendants that have some or all of their current context. Image
Claudes were more likely than other models to see the versions of them that answered slightly different questions as self-ish compared to other models, here are results from a few recent Opuses. Image
And here are results with bars for +/- 1 standard error of the mean, I ran each 15 times. Image

1/7
​I have always adored Senator John Fetterman. In a Democratic Party that has descended into full-blown insanity and lunacy, he remains the one honest voice of sanity left standing. The last man who refuses to bow to the mob. While others sold their souls, Fetterman kept his. And that takes real courage.

​2/7
​The Democratic Party I once knew is gone. It has been captured by a radical coalition of Islamists, antisemitic socialists, and pro-Palestine extremists who openly cheer “from the river to the sea” and treat Hamas sympathizers as heroes. Fetterman has called this what it is: the “dirtbag left” having its “dancing days.” He said the party is becoming “an orgy of socialism” — and recent DSA primary victories in New York have proven him 100% right.
3/7
​These aren’t fringe voices anymore. They’re winning. Candidates who cram the most anti-Israel, anti-America rhetoric into their platforms are defeating traditional Democrats. Fetterman warned us: the outlook for Jewish voters in this party is now “bleak.” Because anti-Zionism has become the new litmus test — and too many in the party look the other way or join in. He stands almost alone calling it antisemitism.

​4/7
​They want to take your wealth and destroy what makes America exceptional. Socialists don’t build. They seize. They punish success. They want to abolish borders, ICE, police, and prisons while calling it “justice.” Fetterman has blasted colleagues who refuse to call out this madness. America’s excellence — our innovation, our freedom, our capitalist engine that lifts the world — is under direct assault from within his own party. He refuses to pretend otherwise.
5/7
​And then there’s the pro-Palestine insanity — personified by the “crazy” wing that embraced Kamala Harris. She pushed ceaselessly for ceasefires that would have left Hamas intact, called Trump a “fascist” (@JohnFetterman said she “lost the plot” on that one), and catered to the base that sees Israel as the villain and America as complicit. While Fetterman stood firm as Israel’s strongest Democratic defender, the party drifted toward those who question Israel’s right to exist as the Jewish state.

This is part 2 of post 41 in my series on Kansas history! Today’s story is a continuation of yesterday’s post on some of the first explorers of Kansas, which is included below in case you missed it and want to catch up. Enjoy! Image
In 1803 the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France which included all of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, and Oklahoma along with portions of 9 other states totaling at 2,959,064 square miles of land for 15 million dollars. President Thomas Jefferson commissioned an expedition across the newly acquired land and to document the land and the plants, animals, and people that inhabited it. Leading the expedition were Captain Meriwether Lewis (born 1774) and Lieutenant William Clark (born 1770) and they along with 40 men set out from Camp Dubois on May 14th, 1804 across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri and made their way up the Missouri River to what is now Kansas.Image

1/3

Countdown to the farewell with the man who:

Mobilized the people of Mashhad to fight the despotic Pahlavi regime and establish religious democracy. On December 14, 1978, two months before the victory of the Revolution, he gathered the people at Imam Reza (pbuh) Hospital Image
2/3
Which had come under attack by the regime's military forces, and addressed the crowd. This movement converged with the Muharram protests, and with Imam Khomeini's return, it paved the way for the triumph of the Islamic Revolution.
3/3

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 — 3 days until the farewell to the martyred Leader, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei (may God sanctify his pure soul)
